County of Imperial Economic Development Legislation Signed Into Law

TPA was proud to help the County of Imperial (a TPA client) secure passage of AB 755 (Garcia) which extends the California Capital Investment Incentive Program that allows cities and counties to offer a local tax abatement to qualified manufacturers.

The legislation was signed into law by Governor Brown in October and gives cities and counties a much-needed tool to attract large manufacturing facilities to invest in their communities and to encourage high technology, energy, and environmental industries to locate and invest in California.

Capistrano Unified School District Awarded Grant for Lobo Lodge Museum

TPA congratulates the Capistrano Unified School District (a TPA client) for being awarded a grant in the amount of $5,000 from the Barona Band of Mission Indians.

The proceeds from this grant will be used at the Lobo Lodge Museum, which opened in 1995, as part of the District’s Indian Education Program and an effort to provide an interactive museum that celebrates the history and heritage of Native Americans.

This latest achievement is another example of the commitment of District leadership to provide students with the necessary resources to succeed.
